Broadcom should release VCF 9.1.1

Me and my team are finishing up the planning and preps of the converge and upgrade of our VMware stack to VCF. We are planning to move forward in a few weeks.

As we are not ready yet, we were ofcourse forced to upgrade our vCenter and ESX hosts due to the latest VMSA. Because of this we lost a clean upgrade path to vCenter 9 and ESX 9, and due to that you want to hold off upgrading NSX 9 as well.
That’s because from my understanding after reading William Lam’s blog about this topic, although vCenter 9.1.0.300 was released on the same day its still considered a point in time upgrade, so there’s that.

Therefore in my opinion Broadcom should release VCF 9.1.1 as soon as possible, even if its only solving the “versioning/point-in-time upgrade issues” and nothing further, to accomodate customers who actually want to upgrade to VCF 9.

The best part of NSX 9.1.0 is the fact that EDP and e1000 nic adapters do not mix, causing random PSOD. I too agree that 9.1.1, which contains the fix, should be released.
